Is Articuno #045/048 worth grading?
Worth it for top-condition copies. A PSA 10 adds about $1,233.75 over the ungraded price of $705.51. A PSA 9 is around $1,000.00. That margin can disappear after fees if the card grades a 9 or lower, so pre-grade it first.
What to check before grading Articuno
- Back edges: the dark blue Pokémon back shows whitening first, so check all four back edges under bright light.
- Surface: holo, full art, and illustration rares scratch and scuff easily, and textured surfaces hide marks until you tilt the card under angled light.
- 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 Pokémon card grading guide.
