Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dark Crobat sells for $3,138 against $200 raw: a $2,937 spread, 16× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($342) 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) |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | $1,041 | +$790 |
| 50% | $1,740 | +$1,489 |

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