Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of プラスル sell for $89.99, only $0.00 above the $2,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($99.99) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Expected value — how often does it need to gem?
| Chance it gems | Expected sale | Expected net (standard fee) |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | $97.49 | −$1,953 |
| 50% | $94.99 | −$1,955 |
