Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gloom sells for $242 against $5.22 raw: a $237 spread, 46× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($59.46) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.

Expected value — how often does it need to gem?
| Chance it gems | Expected sale | Expected net (standard fee) |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | $105 | +$49.91 |
| 50% | $151 | +$95.57 |
| 75% | $196 | +$141 |
Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.

Tolerances are each company's published centering standard for its top grade; surface, corners and edges must also be clean. Centering is the one you can measure yourself before you pay.
