Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Mario Bautista [Green] #17 sell for $3.00, only $0.46 above the $2.54 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($2.99) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $2.54
