🧬 Should I slab it?

SLAB IT

About a 4% gem (PSA 10) 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 value ~$117 before the $80 PSA fee (fee only - excludes shipping & insurance), ~$37 after, vs a raw copy around $15 from 59 raw sales. Grading pencils out here, especially if you hit the $777 ten.
