Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of William Saliba [Blue Shimmer] #106 sell for $245, only $0.00 above the $360 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($223) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
