Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 7 copies of Ted Giannoulas #261 sell for $11.99, only $0.00 above the $12.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($2.25) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
