A PSA 10 currently sells for about $280.62, raw the card sits at $2.83 — 99,2× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $280.62 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 12 auctions the median was $1.22, across 73 fixed-price sales $2.20. Fixed price therefore fetched about 80 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $1.47 and $2.67, with a median of $1.95. 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 $1.07. Offers well below $0.64 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
