Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Joshua Flores [Gold] #BDC-82 sell for $14.00, only $0.00 above the $70.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($12.53) 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): $70.00
Grade 9.5: $14.00
