Is Sword of Fire and Ice 148 worth grading?

Grading break-even

$68.19

A graded copy has to sell for more than $68.19 to beat selling this card raw today: the $43.19 raw price plus a $25.00 grading fee, before shipping, insurance and selling fees. That's 58% above raw, and only for the grade you actually get back.

The fee is a big share of the card's value, so grading pays only if it comes back at a high grade and graded copies sell well above raw.

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.

Check centering, corners, edges and surface first, then run the grading calculator with this card's raw price filled in and the graded prices you find.
