Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Magic Broom [Gold Sapphire Refractor] #189 sell for $35.00, only $0.00 above the $35.50 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($31.87) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
