Should you grade it?
The raw market price is $5.18 (Normal). Grading pays only when the grade you are likely to get sells for more than the raw card plus grading fees, shipping and selling fees. Asking prices are not sales, and most raw copies do not grade a 10.

Card text
Each player may bid life for control of target creature. You start the bidding with a bid of 0. In turn order, each player may top the high bid. The bidding ends if the high bid stands. The high bidder loses life equal to the high bid and gains control of the creature. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)
