On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $478.28 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $17.50 for a raw copy plus $169 to send it through PSA Express, so it clears $291.78.

Condition does most of the work below the surface. A copy with soft corners or a print line off centre trades well under the market price shown here, and a copy clean enough to grade trades well above it, which is why the PSA 10 sits at $2,175£1,644€1,968. Before you value your own copy, look at the corners under a light and check the centring on the back, where most cards give themselves away.
