A PSA 10 currently sells for about $88.45, raw the card sits at $12.84 — 6,9× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $88.45 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 179 auctions the median was $17.02, across 323 fixed-price sales $18.04. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $13.96 and $20.01, with a median of $16.71. 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 $11.30. Offers well below $6.78 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 $15.21 (473), English $12.95 (36). Japanese fetches about 17 % 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.
