Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Roger Clemens sell for $11.30, only $10.05 above the $1.25 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($10.93) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
