Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Kirby Puckett [Superstar Sampler] #460 sell for $22.00, only $0.00 above the $23.73 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($20.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
