A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,616, raw the card sits at $30.09 — 86,9× as much. Of 4.688 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 18 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $239.11 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 89 auctions the median was $20.96, across 246 fixed-price sales $24.29. 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 $14.69 and $28.77, with a median of $19.74. 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 $10.67. Offers well below $6.40 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 $29.06 (368), Japanese $11.69 (72). English fetches about 149 % 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.
