Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Kamaru Usman [Red] #CS-KUS sell for $98.00, only $0.00 above the $134 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($89.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
