Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of CeeDee Lamb [Purple] #25 sell for $11.00, only $5.50 above the $5.50 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($10.02) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $5.50
