A PSA 10 currently sells for about $53.47, raw the card sits at $2.08 — 25,6× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $53.47 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 15 auctions the median was $13.78, across 45 fixed-price sales $6.01. Auctions therefore fetched about 129 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between $1.96 and $6.29, with a median of $2.82. 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 $1.37. Offers well below $0.82 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 $2.33 (30), English $2.16 (14). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
