Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Josh Naylor [Artist Proof] #40 sell for $11.00, only $9.13 above the $1.87 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($10.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $1.87
