Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Conor McGregor [Wave] #UFC83-CM sell for $110, only $20.23 above the $89.77 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($99.99) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
