Sales / Yr

Negative expected value ($-2.63) — while a PSA 10 would be profitable, the probability-weighted outcome across all grades means you lose money on average at this grading tier. Only 66 sales per year — it may take time to find a buyer at full price. PSA 10 profit of $1.95 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.
