Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Derek Jeter [1st Edition] #600 sell for $13.00, only $3.00 above the $10.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($11.84) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
