Is Cesaro #L-5 worth grading?

Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Cesaro #L-5 sell for $3.00, only $1.29 above the $1.71 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($2.80) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
