Confirm the print and finish on Beartic before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.

If you are collecting Beartic
Raw copies of Beartic are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Beartic is the practical move.
