Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Theo Hernandez [Red] #XR-12 sell for $37.00, only $2.25 above the $34.75 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($33.44) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
