Grading rarely pays for this card
CGC 10 copies of ウツロイドGX sell for $39.95, only $0.00 above the $2,500 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($13.48) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

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.
