Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Sekou Doumbouya [Patch Autograph Stars & Stripes] #104 sell for $135, only $10.01 above the $125 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($123) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
