Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Evan Mobley [Red] #162 sell for $13.00, only $1.11 above the $11.89 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($11.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
