Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Shaquem Griffin [Tie-Dye Prizm] #254 sell for $11.00, only $0.68 above the $10.32 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($9.99) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
