Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Hercules [Red Black Refractor] #115 sell for $143, only $3.68 above the $139 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($130) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
