Is Hypnotic Specter 142 worth grading?

Grading break-even

$114.66

A graded copy has to sell for more than $114.66 to beat selling this card raw today: the $89.66 raw price plus a $25.00 grading fee, before shipping, insurance and selling fees. That's 28% above raw, and only for the grade you actually get back.

The fee is small next to the card's value, so condition decides it: compare what this card sells for at the grade you expect against $114.66.

LangBay doesn't show graded sale prices for this card: we don't have a source for them yet, and we won't guess. Check recent graded sales before you send it in.
