Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Captain Hook [Blue Wave] #11 sell for $69.00, only $0.00 above the $84.64 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($62.98) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $84.64
