Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Rob Gronkowski [Blue Refractor] #BSARG sell for $274, only $0.00 above the $950 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($249) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
