Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Connor McDavid #M-CM sell for $507, only $3.00 above the $504 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($461) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
