Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of SALVATORE DOLLY [Gold] #164b sell for $39.00, only $0.00 above the $49.04 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($35.13) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
