Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Juan Soto [Gold] #TOF-16 sell for $10.00, only $0.00 above the $16.88 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($9.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
