A PSA 10 currently sells for about $491.67, raw the card sits at $9.08 — 54,1× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $491.67 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 38 auctions the median was $3.88, across 127 fixed-price sales $7.05. Fixed price therefore fetched about 82 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.87 and $9.08, with a median of $6.72. 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 $3.37. Offers well below $2.02 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: German $8.91 (17), English $6.88 (201). German fetches about 30 % 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.
