Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Demon Aura Nine Sword Style Asura Blades Drawn Dead Man's Game sell for $20.00, only $15.21 above the $4.79 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. Even a PSA 9 ($147) 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.
