Why this card
Squirtle SWSH233 from SWSH Black Star Promos is a real raw-to-PSA hunt. PSA has 28 10s out of 329 graded (8.5% gem rate), which is hard enough that cherry-picked centering still has an edge. Raw sits around €13 against a €2140 10. This print is no longer on the pegs — raw supply is whatever the secondary market still holds. Submission EV is about €124 after Value-tier fees — buy the cleanest raw you can find and send it.
