Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Derrick Rose [Autograph Refractor] #151 sell for $628, only $0.00 above the $850 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($600) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
