Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of フカマル sell for $76.97, only $0.00 above the $6,000 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($200) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. 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% | $169 | −$5,881 |
| 50% | $138 | −$5,912 |
| 75% | $108 | −$5,942 |
Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
