Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Booster Pack [1st Edition] sell for $775, only $0.00 above the $845 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($491) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
