Is it worth grading? Grading premiums for this card behave differently across grades, with a notably wide gap between raw and top-grade copies. A PSA10 example commands a much larger relative premium than the card's base value would suggest. This pattern is common among lower-print-run shinies where clean centering and surface are harder to find than the population reports might imply.
