Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Adley Rutschman [Gold] #BS-4 sell for $62.00, only $0.00 above the $73.87 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($56.55) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
