Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Quasar [Gold] #M-31 sell for $7.00, only $0.00 above the $38.09 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($5.91) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
