Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Tom Brady [Gold Prizm] #AM8 sell for $1,001, only $0.00 above the $1,500 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($910) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
