Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Anthony Davis [Autograph] #5 sell for $72.00, only $0.00 above the $72.99 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($65.38) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
