Is it worth grading?
Enter the raw, PSA 9 and PSA 10 prices of your card and your honest odds of each grade. The calculator takes off the PSA fee for the right service level, shipping both ways and selling fees, and compares the result with selling the card raw. Every card page has a “Grade it?” box that opens this with its prices filled in.
Prices are in US dollars. Anything below a 9 is assumed to sell for the raw price.

Your odds matter more than anything else here. A card’s gem rate, the share of PSA-graded copies that got a 10, is shown on its page where PSA has graded enough copies; your own copy’s centering and surface decide where it sits against that average.
