Grade 9.5 copies of Andre Ethier [Autograph Black Refractor] #221 sell for $47.00, only $7.00 above the $40.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($43.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
