Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Ndamukong Suh [Black Refractor] #52 sell for $26.00, only $1.00 above the $25.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($23.95) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
