Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Dillon Brooks [Vertical Autograph the Finals Ticket] #141 sell for $52.00, only $0.00 above the $58.33 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($47.48) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
