Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Dameon Pierce [Red] #OD-24 sell for $15.00, only $0.00 above the $33.50 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($13.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $33.50
Grade 9.5: $15.00
