Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Leon Draisaitl [Green Frame Blue Cubes] #159 sell for $713, only $0.00 above the $745 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($648) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
