Each cell is the 10-to-raw price multiple at which the chance of a 10 needed equals 50%, assuming the only outcomes are a 10 or a 9 (a simplification: real submissions also return 8s and lower). Computed with the calculator’s own odds-needed function. Fee: PSA Standard $59.99, or Priority $79.99 when 4× raw exceeds the Standard cap ($1,000). $10 round-trip shipping, $5 to the buyer.
| Raw value | 9 sells for 1.0× raw | 9 sells for 1.3× raw | 9 sells for 1.6× raw |

| $50 | 4.2× | 3.9× | 3.6× |

How to use it
Look up recent sold prices of the PSA 10 and PSA 9. Divide each by the raw price. If the 10 multiple is below the table value and you cannot honestly expect a 10 half the time, sell raw. Change any input in the calculator pre-filled with a $50 example.
