Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Tyler Boyd #86 sell for $6.00, only $4.92 above the $1.08 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($5.75) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
