Is Blizzard 1 [Foil] worth grading?

Star Wars · Star Wars CCG Reflections · full price guide →

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Blizzard 1 [Foil] sells for $110 against $4.79 raw: a $105 spread, 23× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($100) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
