Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Tyler Lockett [Stiff Arm Autograph Cracked Ice Ticket] #240 sell for $188, only $0.00 above the $252 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($172) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
