Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Prince Amukamara [Autograph Century Gold] #272 sell for $35.90, only $23.62 above the $12.28 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($19.99) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
