Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Wilson Fisk [Precious Metal Gems Red] #198 sell for $32.00, only $0.14 above the $31.86 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($29.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
