Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Celebi & Venusaur GX sell for $172, only $0.00 above the $7,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($50.40) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
