Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Mike Piazza [Orange] #AGA-MP sell for $101, only $0.00 above the $155 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($91.67) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
