Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of イーブイ sell for $1,294, only $0.00 above the $8,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($222) 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% | $490 | −$7,560 |
| 50% | $758 | −$7,292 |
