Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Crobat sell for $62.86, only $17.86 above the $45.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. Even a PSA 9 ($82.86) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. 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) |
|---|---|---|

| 50% | $72.86 | −$22.14 |

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