Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Elsa sell for $47.65, only $0.00 above the $130 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. Even a PSA 9 ($194) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
