Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Luis Urias [Gold] #BS-12 sell for $13.00, only $12.01 above the $0.99 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($12.18) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
