The decision
Is Pikachu ex worth grading?
Only if you are at least 8% sure it will gem.
A 10 nets +$777, but a 9 nets −$64.00. Below a 8% chance of a 10 you are expected to lose money submitting — which is exactly what Mintachu's grade prediction estimates for a specific listing.

Fee uses PSA's value-tiered service levels ($150 for a card worth $1,757 graded); shipping and insurance are extra. Break-even assumes the copy comes back a 10 or a 9 — a lower grade is worse than either.
