A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,438, raw the card sits at $20.01 — 121.9× as much. Of 1.894 copies already graded, 1 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $148.77 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 132 auctions the median was $18.50, across 216 fixed-price sales $21.83. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $13.97 and $24.24, with a median of $18.97. 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 $9.75. Offers well below $5.85 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 $23.00 (31), English $19.25 (336), Japanese $11.84 (67). German fetches about 94 % 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.
