Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of C.J. Cron [Green Bat Tip] #58 sell for $33.00, only $0.00 above the $35.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($29.99) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
