Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 7 copies of Double Dragon Energy sell for $19.99, only $16.75 above the $3.24 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($14.99) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
