A PSA 10 currently sells for about $121.83, raw the card sits at $19.56 — 6,2× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $121.83 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 149 auctions the median was $24.75, across 291 fixed-price sales $29.45. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $18.88 and $27.55, with a median of $21.68. 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 $15.78. Offers well below $9.47 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: Japanese $24.22 (574), English $19.56 (31). Japanese fetches about 24 % 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.
