Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Dunsparce sell for $31.99, only $0.00 above the $49.13 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($44.70) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

|---|---|---|
| 25% | $41.52 | −$57.61 |
| 50% | $38.34 | −$60.79 |
