Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Alberto Scorfano [Red Wave Refractor] #182 sell for $138, only $5.50 above the $133 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($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.
