eBay sold listings by grade, last 90 days.
Data through Jun 25, 2026.
Based on a raw cost of $0.81 (Near Mint) and the median of recent eBay sales at each grade. Each figure is what you'd net after grading and selling — the grading fee, a $15.00 shipping estimate, and a 12.9% sale fee are already subtracted. It doesn't predict the grade your card will get; it shows what each outcome is worth so you can decide.
| Grade | Sells for | You net |

| CGC 9.5 | $11.50 thin | -$23.79 |
| CGC 9 | No recent sales | |
