From Raw to PSA Gold or Bust

Just wondering what raw pick-ups you had that worked out well when subbing. For me nothing too significant as I don't sub much, but...
Wins:
'64 LaRussa RC local card show pick-up $ 5 to PSA 9, made $150+
'75 Morgan, part of raw set buy hard to determine but I knew it was one of a few worth subbing, we'll say $10 investment got a PSA 9 = $90 gain
'63 Fleer Spahn, flea market find $10 investment, graded SGC 88. +$75
'06 UD Young Guns Malkin raw $50, graded PSA 10 probably doubled value
'75 Brett, bought with nice set thought it could grade high, probably $100 I put on this, graded 8, doubled my money
'84 Lemiuex RC, bought raw @ $50 graded PSA 9, +$75 gain
Losses:
Subbed a few fresh '71 commons hoping for possible 8.5s or higher, two came back 8s, one 7, two others did not meet 7.5 min grade Loss = $50 worth of submission costs
'57 Williams, bought it raw and did not see scratches, came back a "5" bought it at 6.5 cost. Loss = $150
Overall, did a little bit better than worse. Your experiences?
