Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of ライボルトEX sell for $24.06, only $6.06 above the $18.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($33.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

| Chance it gems | Expected sale | Expected net (standard fee) |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | $30.77 | −$37.23 |
| 50% | $28.53 | −$39.47 |
