Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Jordyn Adams [Green] #JA sell for $10.00, only $5.92 above the $4.08 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($9.50) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
