Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Mario Gotze [Gold] #M-MG sell for $71.00, only $0.00 above the $85.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($64.99) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
