Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Shotaro Morii [Black Refractor] #CPA-SM sell for $2,338, only $0.00 above the $2,900 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($2,125) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
