Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Colby Rasmus #H644 sell for $7.00, only $0.00 above the $8.49 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($5.99) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
