Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Mobius the Frost Monarch [1st Edition] SOD-EN022 sell for $43.00, only $15.67 above the $27.33 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($20.95) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
