Is Sage's Training worth grading?

Pokémon · Call of Legends · 85/95 · full price guide →

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 9 Sage's Training sells for $49.95 against $0.33 raw: a $49.62 spread, 151× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.95) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
