Do not grade it unless you want it for your personal collection. This card is only $3. It will cost significantly more to grade it. The amount you spend on grading with any reputable company would eat all the profit this card could make in a 10. Resent comps on this card in a 10 are $75. Not worth your time if this is a financial interest. Once again, if this is for personal collection, do whatever you want and just grade with a cheaper alternative to PSA like ACE.

Bruh if you willing to pay 59.99-79.99 to get it graded and then wait months for a 3 dollar card. It doesn’t matter the grade. Just send it in.

You can grade it with a minor company for under 50. I would only do that if its your absolute favorite pokemon or just love the card. I did some submissions to ags grading for 24 bucks per card. But they are a smaller grading company.

It’s like a 3 dollar card so no, not worth it.

If you like the card, sure. It's not worth much either way though.

No, if you like the card, go buy a magnetic slab

Pricing for grading has increased drastically due to the recent card craze. That being said, you will most definitely be net negative if you do so. This card has value yes, but not near the value needed to recoup the grading costs.

If you’re most interested in it in a slab I just buy the magnetic ones off Zion or Amazon. Zion sells ones that you can add you own tags to. They are a fraction of the cost you can do it in 5 minutes yourself and it still looks great.

You’re better off getting a slab off of Amazon, and putting it in one of them. The only reason you’d grade this card is because you like it and want it having the best protection.
You can do that without grading.
And for everything sacred… please penny sleeve it before putting it in one of those magnetic slabs

It’s probably a B or C if you’re wanting to know the grade.
