Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Joao Palhinha [Zebra] #158 sell for $26.00, only $0.00 above the $29.99 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($23.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
