Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Tutu Atwell #RPA-TA sell for $8.00, only $0.00 above the $12.39 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($7.25) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $12.39
