Is Dark Alakazam #18/82 worth grading?
+×
Grading Dark Alakazam #18/82 pays only if you expect a 10: PSA 10 copies list from $1,006 on eBay vs $32.13 raw, and after a $25 grading fee, $10 shipping and 13% selling fees you need about a 5% chance of a 10 to break even. That assumes a 9 or lower sells like a raw copy. "List from" is the lowest current PSA 10 asking price on eBay, not a sale; whether your copy grades a 10 depends on its condition, which TickerMint's verdict weighs for members.
