Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Thanasis Antetokounmpo [Purple Mosaic] #167 sell for $25.00, only $0.45 above the $24.55 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($22.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
