Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Julio Rodriguez [Orange] #RA-JR sell for $475, only $0.00 above the $496 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($432) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
