Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Johnny Gargano [White Sparkle] #186 sell for $33.00, only $6.99 above the $26.01 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($30.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
