Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Nelly Korda #DB-28 sell for $222, only $13.50 above the $209 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($202) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
