Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Jumpluff sell for $11.00, only $10.71 above the $0.29 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($24.65) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

| Chance it gems | Expected sale | Expected net (standard fee) |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | $21.24 | −$29.05 |
| 50% | $17.82 | −$32.47 |
