Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Geeky GARY [Teal] #10b sell for $30.00, only $0.00 above the $30.50 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($27.56) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
