A PSA 10 currently sells for about $93.99, raw the card sits at $1.98 — 47,6× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $93.99 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 17 auctions the median was $1.68, across 55 fixed-price sales $2.05. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $1.56 and $2.90, with a median of $2.05. 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 $1.03. Offers well below $0.62 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 $2.53 (17), English $1.96 (80). Japanese fetches about 29 % 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.
