Raichu GL #31: rarity, grading and trend

Raichu GL #31 is a Rare Pokémon card from Rising Rivals, the Platinum era (2009). It ranks as number 27 by price out of 120 cards in the set. Its price has held almost flat over the last 30 days ($40.60 to $40.60). The illustration is by Kouki Saitou.

Is it worth grading? Without a reliable gem-mint comparison, submission decisions should rest on condition and personal collecting goals rather than an assumed premium. Platinum-era copies commonly need close checks for back-edge whitening, corner compression and surface scuffs, all of which become obvious inside a holder.
