Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Tony Amonte #6 sell for $3.00, only $1.31 above the $1.69 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($2.63) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
