Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Steven Gerrard [Blue Refractor] #CA-SG sell for $120, only $1.63 above the $118 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($109) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
