Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Joe Boyle #CDA-JBO sell for $12.00, only $6.50 above the $5.50 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($10.50) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
