Should I grade Ivysaur?
Roughly a wash: grade for protection, not profit (est.)
Expected grading return from this card’s own PSA grade mix (22% gem rate; grades under 8 valued at the PSA 8 price) and current graded market prices, minus a ~$25/card bulk-rate grading fee, compared against selling ungraded at market price. Standard grading service costs more; centering risk, turnaround time, and shipping aren’t included. The exact PSA 8/9/10 prices behind this are part of Riffle premium. Not financial advice.
