A PSA 10 currently sells for about $175.72, raw the card sits at $6.39 — 27,5× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $175.72 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 24 auctions the median was $2.86, across 104 fixed-price sales $4.96. Fixed price therefore fetched about 73 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $3.91 and $6.79, with a median of $4.92. 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 $2.41. Offers well below $1.45 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 $5.86 (162), German $5.52 (10). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
