Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Fuecoco Paldea Collection Box sell for $33.00, only $0.00 above the $51.41 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($29.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
