Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Dylan Larkin [Autograph Rainbow Foil Blue] #153 sell for $33.00, only $0.00 above the $68.63 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($30.03) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
