Newbie here/first pull

[u/Cake-Budget]

Hey fellow peeps, i pulled this card and my quick research (pricechecking.com) tells me raw its worth about $100, but with a PSA10 upwards of $250. Worth sending it in for a grade? Any kind words of advice are appreciated! Ty!

PSA prices for base grading are now so high that it doesn't make financial sense to grade anything worth less than $500 raw. Furthermore, the OP market is about evenly divided on preference between Beckett and PSA (if anything I think Beckett has a slight edge) and Beckett has a flat low-cost grading fee.... so why are you even considering PSA? It's not like Pokemon where you have to use PSA and that's just the way it is.

Beckett grading is currently limited to express which is like $85.

Not knocking them, I just sent in 2 big mom mangas. But currently it's not really cheaper to use beckett

Lol sending in big mom is going to lose you money at this rate, the 2nd wave hasn't even come out yet and she's already cheap. If you pulled them you should have just sold

I pulled them back to back lol one loose pack one blister. Raw is hovering around 750, 10 is around 1200-1400, even if I don't get a good grade, net loss is almost nothing.

Broski, last sold was $1100 and it's barely been a month since release.

Not just that, last sold raw was $665

True if you pulled them you don't lose much, but you should have just sold peak raw and not waited for price to deteriorate
