Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Keldeo-GX sell for $12.26, only $8.93 above the $3.33 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($15.55) 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% | $14.73 | −$38.60 |
| 50% | $13.91 | −$39.42 |
| 75% | $13.08 | −$40.25 |
Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
