Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 7 copies of Charles Barkley #AU-CBK sell for $150, only $19.49 above the $131 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($116) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
