Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Fred McGriff [Matrix] #47 sell for $2.00, only $0.00 above the $5.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($1.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
