Grading rarely pays for this card
CGC 10 copies of Rotom Dex sell for $12.05, only $0.00 above the $7,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($11.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. 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% | $11.26 | −$7,039 |
| 50% | $11.53 | −$7,038 |
| 75% | $11.79 | −$7,038 |
At the standard fee this submission does not break even at any realistic gem rate unless the miss lands above the 9 price.

Tolerances are each company's published centering standard for its top grade; surface, corners and edges must also be clean. Centering is the one you can measure yourself before you pay.

Grading Rotom Dex — FAQ
Is Rotom Dex worth grading?
CGC 10 copies of Rotom Dex sell for $12.05, only $0.00 above the $7,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($11.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
What centering does Rotom Dex need for a CGC 10?
CGC publishes 55/45 front and 75/25 back centering as the tolerance for a 10 (Gem Mint). Off-center copies are capped below the top grade regardless of surface — measure yours before paying the fee.
Is your Pokémon card centered well enough to grade?
Centering makes or breaks a PSA 10. Scan any card with Midpoint to measure its exact centering, get a grade estimate, and see what your copy is actually worth.
