Custom Slabbed, Owner's Touch
This one was not just graded, it was custom slabbed by its owner using the DCM label designer. Instead of a generic plastic case, the card got a personalized slab built to match its personality. Your card, your grade, your label. That little bit of customization turns a graded card into a real one of one display piece.
The Sold Value
The hammer came down at $276 on eBay.
For context, raw and PSA 9 copies of this Seismitoad have been trading right around the $250 to $310 range, so a Gem Mint DCM 10 landing at $276 sits comfortably in the heart of the market. All without risking the card in the mail and waiting weeks or months for it to return.
