Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon DTP1-EN001 sell for $1,180, only $0.00 above the $1,525 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($1,073) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
