A PSA 10 currently sells for about $15,226, raw the card sits at $811.57 — 18,8× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $15,226 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 178 auctions the median was $149.64, across 237 fixed-price sales $177.18. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $76.33 and $202.53, with a median of $123.03. 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 $50.22. Offers well below $30.13 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 $183.06 (481), German $134.70 (20). English fetches about 36 % 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.
