A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,926, raw the card sits at $64.12 — 30,0× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,926 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 371 auctions the median was $29.40, across 662 fixed-price sales $34.47. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $22.17 and $41.07, with a median of $29.57. 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 $16.48. Offers well below $9.89 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: Italian $64.53 (27), German $45.75 (72), English $28.70 (1039). Italian fetches about 125 % 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.
