Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Run Down RHODA #F6a sell for $4.00, only $0.51 above the $3.49 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($3.36) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
