Expected graded value does not clear raw plus the grading bill. Keep it raw unless you need the holder for a sale.
Grade yield
16% chance of PSA 9+. Net potential upside: −$53 after grading costs. Leave it raw.
PSA regular · $50 fee · $15 ship · $8 insurance · about 45 days. Shifted by this photo's 7.5 and 860 graded copies. Not a PSA yield.
Raw $280 · PSA 10 no book · PSA 9 $480 · PSA 8 $240
- PSA 10<1%
- PSA 916% · pop 180+$72 after fee
- PSA 841% · pop 420-$137 after fee
Net is the slab price minus a 13% take, ship pad, a $50 fee, and raw. A 10 is not the likely outcome of a 9 photo.

24 copies are already listed. No season window on this sport. The call is only the listed pile and the pop. One census snapshot — not a live pop velocity.
Trust shield
Check these tells
A phone photo cannot measure font kerning or a rosette against a reference set. These are the known tells for this issue.
- Yu-Gi-Oh eye hologram must sit in the correct corner with the right foil
- 1st Edition LOB ultras are a different card from later reprints

Authenticity
Likely authentic
Visual review, not a cert.
Census match on a well-documented issue. Still verify holograms, stamps, and stock in hand — photos miss texture.
- Print and type match known copies of this issue
- Stock and finish consistent with the set
- Prophecy original, not Commander reprints. Confirm the Prophecy set symbol and old border.

Tells
How fakes fail
Eye foils and texture are the first check.
- Yu-Gi-Oh eye hologram must sit in the correct corner with the right foil
- 1st Edition LOB ultras are a different card from later reprints
- Manga rares have line texture — flattened prints are the common fake
- Set codes (LOB-001, OP01-024) must match the illustration
On this issue: Prophecy original, not Commander reprints. Confirm the Prophecy set symbol and old border.
Centering & surface
Meter L/R and T/B from this photo, then loupe the print. A hint at what PSA, BGS, or SGC might say — not a cert.
Scan a photo of this copy to measure borders.
Lot notes
Commander staple. Ungraded NM is the lot — slabs are a flex.
