Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Donovan Mitchell [Metal Bronze] #114 sell for $27.00, only $8.50 above the $18.50 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($17.26) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
