Sandshrew [Reverse Holo] #68

Negative expected value ($-1.58) — while a PSA 10 would be profitable, the probability-weighted outcome across all grades means you lose money on average at this grading tier. Low grading population — gem rates based on only 28 graded cards may be unreliable, and the market for this card in graded form may be illiquid. PSA 10 profit of $4.28 is thin — grading fees and selling costs eat most of the margin. This card was released recently (5 months ago). Prices for new releases are volatile — by the time grading is complete, the market price may have shifted. Consider waiting for prices to stabilize.
