Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Joe Sakic [Artist's Proof] #50 sell for $8.00, only $0.00 above the $26.63 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($7.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
