Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Nikola Vucevic [Jersey Autograph Prizm] #251 sell for $14.00, only $0.00 above the $15.15 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($13.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
