Grade it
Grading beats selling raw if your copy has at least a 2.7% chance of a PSA 10.
2.1% if a miss grades PSA 9, 6.1% 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 $79.99 (Priority), 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 $22.13.
Grading still beats selling raw at your odds while all grading costs stay under this.
If PSA 10s fall 86% from $1,200, grading stops paying at your 30% odds.

A PSA 10 sells for 4.0× a CGC 10 of this card. PSA has the most sales, 9. The verdict uses PSA.
After each grader’s base fee for that value, shipping and selling fees, a 10 nets $951 from PSA, $229 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 7.9%. At 15%: +$68 versus selling the 9 for a net $69.00.
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.
