Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of LeBron James [Yellow Laser] #4 sell for $109, only $0.00 above the $128 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($99.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
