Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Ja'Marr Chase [Gold Vinyl] #PB-9 sell for $1,000, only $0.00 above the $1,025 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($909) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $1,025
Grade 9.5: $1,000
PSA 9: $909
Gem premium: 1.0×
