Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Runick Tip [Collector's Rare 1st Edition] TAMA-EN029 sell for $44.00, only $18.06 above the $25.94 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($39.99) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
