Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of シェルダー sell for $18.50, only $0.00 above the $50.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($18.93) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

|---|---|---|
| 25% | $18.82 | −$81.18 |
| 50% | $18.71 | −$81.28 |
