Updated for the current Palworld patch

Key takeaways

Treating all tens as equal

Company standards differ; comps must match the company on the label.

Comping a base card against a parallel

The suffix changes the market entirely, graded or not.

Ignoring fees and turnaround

Grading cost, postage and months of waiting are real parts of the maths.

Submitting cards with edge wear

Anything visible under a light will cap the grade below the premium tier.
