Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Ken Griffey Jr. [Triple] #76 sell for $262, only $22.72 above the $239 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($238) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
