Is it worth grading?
Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Cal Ripken Jr. [Player's Private Issue] #4 sell for $49.89, only $9.89 above the $40.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($34.01) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
