Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of エンテイV sell for $100, only $0.00 above the $5,400 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($60.90) 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% | $80.62 | −$5,369 |
