Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Anthony Davis [Peacock Choice] #18 sell for $1,368, only $0.00 above the $1,525 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($1,244) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
