A PSA 10 currently sells for about $3,436, raw the card sits at $92.07 — 37,3× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $3,436 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 34 auctions the median was $72.36, across 61 fixed-price sales $101.42. Fixed price therefore fetched about 40 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $63.56 and $96.27, with a median of $79.36. 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 $49.02. Offers well below $29.41 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
