A PSA 10 currently sells for about $974.86, raw the card sits at $62.29 — 15,7× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $974.86 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 74 auctions the median was $585.35, across 107 fixed-price sales $626.35. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $22.45 and $600.58, with a median of $394.00. 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 $6.27. Offers well below $3.76 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
