A PSA 10 currently sells for about $306.03, raw the card sits at $17.58 — 17,4× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $306.03 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 170 auctions the median was $21.19, across 282 fixed-price sales $21.97. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $15.77 and $23.08, with a median of $18.86. 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 $13.47. Offers well below $8.08 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 $17.56 (21), Japanese $15.55 (430). 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.
