Negative expected value ($-2.54) — 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 26 graded cards may be unreliable, and the market for this card in graded form may be illiquid. PSA 10 profit of $16.60 is thin — grading fees and selling costs eat most of the margin.
