Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Genie sell for $12.00, only $11.80 above the $0.20 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($24.99) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Expected value — how often does it need to gem?
| Chance it gems | Expected sale | Expected net (standard fee) |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | $21.74 | −$28.46 |
| 50% | $18.49 | −$31.71 |
| 75% | $15.25 | −$34.95 |
