Grading rarely pays for this card
TAG 10 copies of ズガドーンGX sell for $12.50, only $0.00 above the $200 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($7.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Expected value — how often does it need to gem?
| Chance it gems | Expected sale | Expected net (standard fee) |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | $8.75 | −$241 |
| 50% | $10.00 | −$240 |

At the standard fee this submission does not break even at any realistic gem rate unless the miss lands above the 9 price.

Tolerances are each company's published centering standard for its top grade; surface, corners and edges must also be clean. Centering is the one you can measure yourself before you pay.

Which grading company is best for ズガドーンGX?
By resale value, TAG 10 leads at $12.50, ahead of BGS 10 at $12.00. Fees and turnaround differ, so the best-paying label is not always the best net.
