A PSA 10 currently sells for about $60.62, raw the card sits at $5.85 — 10,4× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $60.62 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 96 auctions the median was $5.61, across 280 fixed-price sales $6.76. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.94 and $7.34, with a median of $5.90. 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 $3.94. Offers well below $2.37 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 $7.51 (385), English $5.00 (30). Japanese fetches about 50 % 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.
