Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Spinda sells for $61.00 against $1.50 raw: a $59.50 spread, 41× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($75.00) 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) |

| 50% | $68.00 | +$16.50 |

At the standard fee this submission does not break even at any realistic gem rate unless the miss lands above the 9 price.
