Grade it
Grading beats selling raw if your copy has at least a 2.5% chance of a PSA 10.
2.5% if a miss grades PSA 9, 2.6% if it grades PSA 8.
Only a PSA 10 beats selling raw.
Net of grading and selling costs, compared with selling the raw card today. Grading fee by result: PSA 10 $59.99, PSA 9 $59.99, PSA 8 $59.99, plus $10.00 shipping. Change your costs
Grading breaks even at that price with your 30% PSA 10 chance. Raw sells for $41.31.
Grading still beats selling raw at your odds while all grading costs stay under this.
If PSA 10s fall 74% from $575, grading stops paying at your 30% odds.

A PSA 10 sells for 1.4× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 26. The verdict uses PSA.
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $428 from PSA, $338 from CGC. Turnaround and resale demand differ too; check the grader board on Grading costs.
Crack it and send the raw card again, or sell the 9 as it is. A miss pays a second grading fee and usually comes back a 9 again.
Cracking pays if that chance is at least 17%. At 15%: −$9.53 versus selling the 9 for a net $95.20.
A card that graded 9 once is less likely to get a 10 than a fresh copy, so set this lower than you would for one. Cracking a slab can also damage the card.
