Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Gardevoir ex δ sell for $68.77, only $0.00 above the $153 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. Even a PSA 9 ($854) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
