Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Oneil Cruz [Ruby Red Foil] #30 sell for $110, only $0.00 above the $207 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($100) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
