Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Anton Ego [Blue Wave] #57 sell for $178, only $0.00 above the $271 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($162) 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): $271
Grade 9.5: $178
