Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Bob Keppel [Refractor Autograph] #345 sell for $11.00, only $0.00 above the $12.48 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($9.99) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
