Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Ja'Marr Chase [Red] #GK-24 sell for $12.00, only $8.12 above the $3.88 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($11.22) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
