Grading rarely pays for this card
SGC 10 copies of Megara [Green Sapphire Refractor] #45 sell for $26.00, only $2.77 above the $23.23 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($17.01) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
