Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Johnny Manziel [Chrome Refractor] #CDP31 sell for $54.00, only $0.00 above the $99.99 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($49.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
