Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Karim Adeyemi [Neon Green Wave Refractor] #FA-KA sell for $132, only $8.03 above the $124 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($120) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
