A PSA 10 currently sells for about $3,918, raw the card sits at $237.21 — 16,5× as much. Of 2.992 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $930.31 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. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 237 auctions the median was $139.09, across 500 fixed-price sales $175.86. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $107.88 and $192.16, with a median of $140.83. 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 $83.92. Offers well below $50.35 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: Japanese $264.31 (57), English $174.45 (813). Japanese fetches about 52 % 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.
