Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Bastian Schweinsteiger [Blue Pulsar] #90 sell for $187, only $4.50 above the $183 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($170) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
