A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,345, raw the card sits at $116.82 — 11,5× as much. Of 5.435 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $228.32 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 224 auctions the median was $50.92, across 380 fixed-price sales $56.75. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $32.50 and $61.95, with a median of $44.42. 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 $21.02. Offers well below $12.61 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 $51.02 (663), Japanese $29.14 (123). English fetches about 75 % 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.
