Negative expected value ($-2.57) — 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 23% — you'll need a very clean copy to hit PSA 10. Only 0 sales per year — it may take time to find a buyer at full price. PSA 10 profit of $13.76 is thin — grading fees and selling costs eat most of the margin.
