Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Miles Robinson [Red Wave Refractor] #54 sell for $47.00, only $0.00 above the $55.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($43.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
