Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Timothe Luwawu Cabarrot [Holo] #13 sell for $4.00, only $0.00 above the $5.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($3.25) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
