Should You Grade?
Low grading population — gem rates based on only 82 graded cards may be unreliable, and the market for this card in graded form may be illiquid. The gem rate is only 21% — you'll need a very clean copy to hit PSA 10. Only 93 sales per year — it may take time to find a buyer at full price. PSA 10 profit of $12.65 is thin — grading fees and selling costs eat most of the margin.
Factors in grading cost, turnaround time, and compounding — how fast you can reinvest profits into the next flip.
Shows the best-value tier from each grading company based on EV, cost, and turnaround. Pop = total graded population; 10s = grade 10 count.
