A PSA 10 currently sells for about $76.62, raw the card sits at $22.38 — 3,4× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $76.62 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 192 auctions the median was $28.17, across 379 fixed-price sales $26.43. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $19.51 and $27.19, with a median of $22.52. 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 $15.97. Offers well below $9.58 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 $22.38 (31), Japanese $19.84 (622). English fetches about 13 % 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.
