Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Cubs VS A's [1929] #26 sell for $6.00, only $0.00 above the $9.77 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($5.76) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
