Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Pryce's Delibird sell for $99.40, only $0.00 above the $4,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($74.98) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
