Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Sami Zayn #RA-SZ sell for $38.00, only $23.68 above the $14.32 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($34.75) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
