Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Franz Wagner [Autograph 75th Anniversary] #108 sell for $169, only $0.00 above the $275 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($154) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
