Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Omanyte sell for $22.00, only $0.00 above the $23.69 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($24.99) 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% | $24.24 | −$49.45 |
| 50% | $23.49 | −$50.20 |
| 75% | $22.75 | −$50.94 |
Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
