Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of カプ・コケコGX sell for $28.83, only $0.00 above the $200 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. Even a PSA 9 ($2,000) 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.
