A PSA 10 currently sells for about $84.49, raw the card sits at $25.38 — 3,3× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $84.49 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 155 auctions the median was $33.11, across 327 fixed-price sales $33.12. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $24.18 and $32.96, with a median of $27.77. 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 $19.74. Offers well below $11.85 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 $31.54 (596), English $24.32 (39). Japanese fetches about 30 % 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.
