Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tauros sells for $394 against $5.92 raw: a $388 spread, 67× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($69.17) 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?

|---|---|---|
| 25% | $150 | +$94.48 |
| 50% | $232 | +$176 |

Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
