Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Ruud Gullit [Red] #78 sell for $20.00, only $1.48 above the $18.52 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($18.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
