PSA 10 copies of Beedrill sell for $17.07, only $11.38 above the $5.69 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($24.65) 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% | $22.75 | −$32.94 |
| 50% | $20.86 | −$34.83 |
| 75% | $18.96 | −$36.73 |
Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
