Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of フシギソウ sell for $39.57, only $0.00 above the $600 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($46.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Expected value — how often does it need to gem?
| Chance it gems | Expected sale | Expected net (standard fee) |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | $44.39 | −$606 |
| 50% | $42.78 | −$607 |
| 75% | $41.18 | −$609 |
Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
