Grade clean copies
Grading beats selling raw if your copy has at least a 36% chance of a PSA 10.
11% if a miss grades PSA 9, 75% 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 $10.95.
Grading still beats selling raw at your odds while all grading costs stay under this.
PSA 10s would need to rise 6% from $113 for grading to pay at your 30% odds.

A PSA 10 sells for 1.1× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 116. The verdict uses PSA.
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $56.00 from CGC, $27.46 from PSA. 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.
Keep the 9: even a PSA 10 would net less than selling the 9 ($76.86).
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.
