Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Joel Alvarez [Silver] #150 sell for $15.00, only $11.25 above the $3.75 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($13.44) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
