SAVE YOUR MONEY

Only a 5% gem rate on this card's own PSA pop - graded pop is self-selected (best copies get submitted), so a random raw likely grades lower. Expected ~$383 before the $599 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$-216 after - near or below a raw copy ($20 from 25 raw sales). Not worth grading unless you are confident it is a 10.
