Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Nick Kurtz [Gold] #PP-30 sell for $121, only $3.50 above the $118 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($110) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
