Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Megalith Ophiel [20th Secret Rare] IGAS-JP035 sell for $29.00, only $4.00 above the $25.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($26.56) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
