Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Oneil Cruz #RA-OC sell for $42.00, only $5.77 above the $36.23 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($37.82) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
