On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $175.50 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $7.81 for a raw copy plus $99.99 to send it through PSA Regular, so it clears $67.70.

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 $253.02£190.43€222.83. 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.
