Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Vinicius Jr. [Blue Shimmer] sell for $232, only $0.00 above the $237 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($211) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
