Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Mac Jones [Autograph Premium Blue Shimmer] #111 sell for $46.00, only $0.00 above the $585 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($42.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
