Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Alolan Exeggutor sell for $22.98, only $22.39 above the $0.59 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. Even a PSA 9 ($69.95) 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.
