Is it worth grading? Because this is a recent Ultra Rare, grading population data is still developing and any premium for a PSA 10 over a raw copy remains unclear at this time. Centering on the wide full-art design can be a common point of deduction for graders. Collectors comparing raw and graded copies should treat any current premium estimate as provisional rather than settled.
