Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Jose Aldo [Red] #AU-JA1 sell for $69.00, only $19.90 above the $49.10 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($62.88) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
