Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Sisu sell for $11.88, only $10.02 above the $1.86 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. Even a PSA 9 ($72.27) 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.
