Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Travis Kelce #TS-4 sell for $18.00, only $16.56 above the $1.44 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($15.98) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
