Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 Ultimate Rare SOD-EN008 1st Edition grading math

Here is what you keep at each grade if you buy the card raw at today's price, pay PSA and $5 shipping, and sell the slab with a 13% selling fee. PSA's fee depends on what the card is worth after grading: it bills you up to the right tier if the card comes back worth more (the upcharge). PSA's cheapest open tier is Standard ($59.99). If this card grades a 10 it lands in Premier ($599), so your all-in cost is $1,204.

Grade	Sells for	PSA fee at that value	You make
PSA 10	$6,430	Premier $599	+$4,390.52
PSA 9	$890	Standard $59.99	+$109.02
PSA 8	$650	Standard $59.99	−$99.34

The slab has to sell for at least $1,384 to break even. A PSA 10 sells for about 11 times the raw price, and a PSA 9 for about 1.5 times.

Other grades: a 9.5 sells for about $978 and a BGS 10 for about $8,359.

Before you grade this card

Older cards often show edge wear, whitening on the back corners and light surface scratches from play and binder storage, so high grades are rare. Check all four back corners and tilt the card under a bright light before you pay a gem-mint price. Graders score centering, corners, edges and surface, and the lowest of the four usually sets the grade. Our guide to card grading shows what to look for and compares PSA, BGS and CGC.
