Only a PSA 10 beats selling raw.
Grading breaks even at that price with your 30% PSA 10 chance. Raw sells for $933.
Grading still beats selling raw at your odds while all grading costs stay under this.
If PSA 10s fall 35% from $2,550, grading stops paying at your 30% odds.

A PSA 10 sells for 2.0× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 1,527. The verdict uses PSA.
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $6,156 from BGS, $1,853 from PSA, $1,080 from CGC. The 10s are not equally hard to get: a BGS 10 is far rarer than a PSA 10. 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 5.4%. At 15%: +$117 versus selling the 9 for a net $694.
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.

PSA raised their base-level grading fee from $30 to $35 for standard cards. Express and Super Express tiers unchanged. This may reduce casual submissions and tighten PSA 10 supply for modern cards.

As expected, the market saw a 5-10% correction across most categories following the December holiday buying surge. Vintage cards held better than modern, with Base Set holos showing minimal decline.
