A PSA 10 currently sells for about $235.72, raw the card sits at $2.33 — 101,0× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $235.72 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 $1.31, across 78 fixed-price sales $2.82. Fixed price therefore fetched about 115 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $1.68 and $3.50, with a median of $2.21. 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 $1.12. Offers well below $0.67 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 $2.17 (35), English $1.93 (208). German fetches about 12 % 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.
