How Grading Verdicts Work
Worth grading
PSA 10 value is above 2x the raw price AND the PSA 10 is above $50. After the $25 grading fee, there is clear upside even accounting for the risk of getting a 9 instead of a 10.
Borderline
PSA 10 value is above 1.5x raw AND above $30. The math is marginal. Only worth submitting if your copy is in genuinely excellent condition and you are confident in a high grade.
Not worth grading
The grading fee is too large relative to the PSA 10 premium. The card will likely be worth less after grading costs than if sold raw. Keep it raw or consider bulk submission options.
