Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Bruce Buffer [Pink Velocity] #121 sell for $41.00, only $21.50 above the $19.50 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($37.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
