Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Tyrant #127 sell for $15.00, only $13.44 above the $1.56 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($13.84) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
