Worth grading?

Whether grading pays depends on your copy.

Graded prices for this card are sparse in the market data. Whether grading is worth it comes down to the grade your copy would get and what each company charges. Cardinal's pre-grade reads its centering, corners, edges and surface from your phone, and the Cardinal Call weighs the likely grades against live prices and current fees for every company.
