Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of ギラティナVSTAR sell for $43.24, only $0.00 above the $350 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($130) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

| 50% | $86.62 | −$313 |
