Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Alex Bregman / Yordan Alvarez [Independence Day] #U-7 sell for $20.00, only $0.00 above the $22.13 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($18.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $22.13
