Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Rickey Henderson #55RA-RH sell for $319, only $19.00 above the $300 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($290) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
