Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Robbie Keane [Red] #BA-RK sell for $132, only $21.99 above the $110 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($120) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
