Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 7 copies of Vladimir Guerrero sell for $35.00, only $0.00 above the $39.98 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($17.01) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
