A PSA 10 currently sells for about $546.35, raw the card sits at $26.50 — 20,6× as much. Of 222 copies already graded, 16 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $158.30 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 32 auctions the median was $9.63, across 130 fixed-price sales $11.91. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $7.84 and $16.00, with a median of $11.74. 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 $4.42. Offers well below $2.65 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 $13.85 (249), Japanese $9.20 (27). English fetches about 50 % 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.
