Keep rawIs the Gardevoir ex (SAR) (Scarlet ex #101/078) worth grading?
No — keep it raw.
The PSA 10 premium over raw is slim. After the grading fee that's a losing trade — and a PSA 9 sells below raw, a clear loss. The value is already mostly in the raw card.

Thin market — this estimate rests on 36 PSA 10 sales in the last 677 days.
Batch & timing
Sell-through time is a rough estimate from recent sold velocity — not a promise.
The reasoning
Liquidity makes it worse: very few raw copies listed — a thin, hard-to-source card where a small premium doesn't pay for the risk. Hold it raw.
