Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Janine's Venomoth sell for $41.75, only $0.00 above the $10,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($41.95) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
