Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Derrick Rose #3 sell for $1,826, only $0.00 above the $6,160 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($1,660) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
