Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of ワニノコ sell for $300, only $0.00 above the $4,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($69.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Tolerances are each company's published centering standard for its top grade; surface, corners and edges must also be clean. Centering is the one you can measure yourself before you pay.
