Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Emmitt Smith [Tie-Dye Prizm] #T9 sell for $41.00, only $0.00 above the $44.28 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($37.19) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
