An ungraded copy is worth around $7.68, a PSA 9 around $21.52, a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $61.20 and a pristine BGS 10 around $80.00. That's roughly a 8.0× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $7.68 and top grades reaching $61.20, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
