Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Klay Thompson [Bonus Shots Black] #155 sell for $165, only $0.00 above the $399 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($150) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
