Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Justin Herbert [Gold] #H-3 sell for $28.00, only $0.00 above the $42.17 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($25.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
