A PSA 10 currently sells for about $7,422, raw the card sits at $52.96 — 140,1× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $7,422 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10.

Across 85 auctions the median was $27.93, across 258 fixed-price sales $33.05. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $22.34 and $45.16, with a median of $30.85. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

The cheapest genuine sales were around $16.73. Offers well below $10.04 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

From real sales: English $48.18 (515), German $22.44 (22). English fetches about 115 % more.

lastsold uses only real sales — eBay plus auction houses like Goldin & Fanatics — recent sales count more (recency weighting), outliers and fakes are removed. It's not an estimate but actual sold prices, separated by condition, language and grading.
