Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of JAR JAR Binks [Red Refractor] #FM-20 sell for $57.00, only $0.00 above the $103 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($52.24) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
