Nobody's actually sold this exact card and grade on record, so there's no live market to read — the price you see is a modeled estimate, not a realized sale.
With this little to go on, the honest answer is we can't call a direction — one auction would swing the whole read.

Automated analysis generated from this card’s real recorded sales and PSA population data — no opinions, no predictions guaranteed. Entertainment and research only, not financial advice.

BORDERLINE

Roughly a 4% gem rate on this card's own PSA pop - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected ~$157 before the $149 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$8 after - about even with a raw copy ($16 from 61 raw sales). A coin flip that only pays off on a high grade.
