Grading rarely pays for this card
SGC 10 copies of Dylan Carlson #DS-DC sell for $3.25, only $0.00 above the $3.78 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($3.01) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
