Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Khamzat Chimaev [Blue] #116 sell for $41.00, only $2.47 above the $38.53 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($37.25) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
