Grading this card did not increase its value much. But it did increase the cool factor by a LOT! This card is super-sparkly-shiny-yeah! Looks stunning!! How many cards have you seen with a 7.5? Low grade of 6.5 and high grade 9.5. AND it's a $20 card to boot! Nice!

What makes this card nice? Not much. For starters, don't send a card to be graded with damaged corners, especially a cheap card! An 8.0 has obvious wear, very easy to see. And since most cards are printed with perfect centering, a 9.5 is just average. At least Aggron looks cool in front of those flames!
