Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Exeggutor sell for $28.74, only $19.89 above the $8.85 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($32.50) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. 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% | $31.56 | −$27.29 |
| 50% | $30.62 | −$28.23 |
| 75% | $29.68 | −$29.17 |
Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
