Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Plaguespreader Zombie [Misprint] CSOC-EN031 sell for $166, only $0.00 above the $1,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($151) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
