Grading rarely pays for this card
SGC 10 copies of Cain Velasquez [Green] #SG-CVL sell for $35.50, only $0.00 above the $41.00 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.
