Negative expected value ($-2.72) — while a PSA 10 would be profitable, the probability-weighted outcome across all grades means you lose money on average at this grading tier. The gem rate is only 25% — you'll need a very clean copy to hit PSA 10. PSA 10 profit of $11.98 is thin — grading fees and selling costs eat most of the margin. This card was released recently (1 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.
