as someone who collects coins, it’s likely a similar situation: your card might be fairly rare, but if the cost of getting it graded is greater than the premium added from it being graded/slabbed, it’s better to just keep it raw for now! i have a semi-key date in my collection but it barely grades at “Good-04” (coin grading is 1-70, with “Good” being 4-8 and Mint State being 60-70). Anything 8 and above would be an insane return for me, but it’s sadly just not the case :)

If a a graded 9 isn’t worth more than the card right now, it’s probably not worth it. I guess it depends on how much you spend to have it graded and if you think that card is in really great condition.

i mean the corners and edges are flawless i've been examining it for a while and i can't find anything wrong like scratches or print defects, i may give it a shot but idk if i would send it psa or tag. i heard tag is pretty cool cus then i would know whats wrong with it. don't rlly care to resell just would be cool to get a 10 or 9

Then I would go for it if you don’t care about resell value
