Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of DeVonta Smith [Mosaic] #6 sell for $14.00, only $12.80 above the $1.20 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($13.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
