Is it worth grading?
Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of ライチュウex sell for $2,058, only $0.00 above the $20,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($72.59) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
