Grading cost and risk
PSA fees scale with declared value. CardSnap estimates all-in cost on the scan result. Holo scratches, whitening, and centering decide whether you land PSA 9 or miss it. If only a PSA 10 clears fees, you are making a gem bet.
Should you grade this Base Set Charizard?
On the stored snapshot, PSA 9 sits above the top of the raw band, so a clean holo can justify grading if you accept fee and time risk. A scratched or off-center copy should stay raw. Check the PSA 9 downside first. Analyze your Charizard card before you ship.
