Low grading population — gem rates based on only 36 graded cards may be unreliable, and the market for this card in graded form may be illiquid. PSA 10 profit of $13.60 is thin — grading fees and selling costs eat most of the margin. This card was released recently (3 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.
