Only 2 cards have been graded by PSA. There is insufficient data to determine grading profitability, and finding buyers for graded copies may be difficult.

Shows the best-value tier from each grading company based on EV, cost, and turnaround. Pop = total graded population; 10s = grade 10 count.

Check the downside before you buy

Compare the lower-grade reference prices below with your buy price, grading cost and selling fees. Shipping and tax reduce the result further. Missing prices do not establish a resale floor; a population gem rate is not your card's personal probability.
