Is The Wandering Emperor (Showcase) (Foil Etched) #418 worth grading?
Worth it for top-condition copies. A PSA 10 adds about $173.95 over the ungraded price of $91.13. A PSA 9 is around $149.00. That margin can disappear after fees if the card grades a 9 or lower, so pre-grade it first.
What to check before grading The Wandering Emperor (Showcase) (Foil Etched)
- Edges and corners: dark borders make chipping and corner whitening easy to see, and graders mark them down quickly.
- Foil curl: foils can bow over time, and a curled card is harder to grade high. Check it lying flat on a table.
- Centering: PSA 10 allows roughly 55/45 to 60/40 on the front and 75/25 on the back.
Measure the borders with the card centering calculator, or read the AI card grading guide.
