A PSA 10 currently sells for about $954.97, raw the card sits at $25.25 — 37,8× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $954.97 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 277 auctions the median was $17.75, across 390 fixed-price sales $20.54. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $13.58 and $27.41, with a median of $18.21. 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 $9.16. Offers well below $5.50 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: German $44.81 (39), Italian $20.78 (14), English $17.03 (650). German fetches about 163 % 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.
