Should You Grade?
Negative expected value ($-0.02) — while a PSA 10 would be profitable, the probability-weighted outcome across all grades means you lose money on average at this grading tier. PSA 10 profit of $3.23 is thin — grading fees and selling costs eat most of the margin. This card was released recently (5 months ago).
