Entertainment · 2025 Topps Chrome Disney Pluto Anniversary · full price guide →
Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Pluto [Black] #PL-10 sell for $129, only $0.00 above the $140 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($118) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
