Grading still beats selling raw at your odds while all grading costs stay under this.
If PSA 10s fall 95% from $2,460, grading stops paying at your 30% odds.

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 4.0%. At 15%: +$210 versus selling the 9 for a net $86.35.
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.
