Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Bam Adebayo [Purple] #114 sell for $17.00, only $1.76 above the $15.24 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($15.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
