A PSA 10 currently sells for about $127,810, raw the card sits at $8,466 — 15,1× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $127,810 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 43 auctions the median was $7,431, across 35 fixed-price sales $8,259. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $3,849 and $6,191, with a median of $4,884. 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 $14.71. Offers well below $8.83 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.
