Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Nicolas Petan [Autograph] #246 sell for $7.00, only $0.00 above the $7.33 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($5.96) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
