Is it worth grading M Sceptile EX 8/98?
At $27.40 plus PSA Standard $59.99 ($87.39 all-in), against a $388.18 PSA 10 and a $67.50 PSA 9 each netted for eBay's 13.25% selling fee, you need a 11% chance of a 10 to break even. The registry's recorded gem rate is 25%. Shipping and insurance, to PSA and to the buyer, are not counted. That is arithmetic on recorded figures and published fees, not advice.
