Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Lando Calrissian #AV-78 sell for $3.00, only $0.00 above the $13.23 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($2.99) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
