Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of レアコイル sell for $1,202, only $0.00 above the $6,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($115) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

| 50% | $659 | −$5,391 |
