Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Alec Bohm [Clear] #277 sell for $9.00, only $0.00 above the $2,450 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($7.99) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
