Raw Vs Graded: Deciding Pokemon Card Price

Deciding whether to keep a card raw or graded dictates its pokemon card price. Legally, keeping low-value cards raw saves money, as grading fees might exceed the card’s pokemon card price. High-value cards should always be graded to lock in their condition and maximize their pokemon card price. Illegally, some sellers forge grading labels and tape them onto raw cards to trick buyers into paying the graded pokemon card price. Always look for tamper-evident seams and official holographic logos on slabs to avoid this illegal scam.
