Negative expected value ($-1.26) — 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 13% — you'll need a very clean copy to hit PSA 10. Only 16 sales per year — it may take time to find a buyer at full price.
