Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Wayne Gretzky [Gold Line Punched] #241 sell for $48.00, only $0.00 above the $99.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($43.53) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
