What this card could sell for in a slab if you send it to a grading company yourself, at the grade it is most likely to get: our own Elemental Grade, rounded the way a slab is (a half grade goes up only when the odds favour the grade above).The odds spread around our grade: the chances of a PSA 10, 9 and 8 are worked out for this copy; the rest spread over the grades below by how fully we read it.The odds for each grade are worked out for this copy: its centering against PSA's limits, its corners, edges and surface, its print era and finish, and how often cards from its set grade 10. Biggest factors here: corners 7.5 (edges and surface higher), centering not measured yet, vintage non-holo.After grading: the slabbed value at the likeliest grade minus the cost to grade (the company's published fee for the tier that covers that value, plus insured shipping both ways for one card; shipping in is our estimate; fees read Oct 12, 2026). Underwater: grading costs more than the slab is worth.Not affiliated with PSA, CGC, SGC, TAG or any grading company.
