Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Juan Marichal [Red Ink] #JM sell for $99.00, only $0.00 above the $115 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($89.99) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
