Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Julio Rodriguez #BTA-JR sell for $385, only $0.00 above the $391 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($350) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
