Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Victor Robles #9 sell for $9.00, only $7.75 above the $1.25 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($7.97) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
