Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Kenny Pickett [Autograph] #ESR-1 sell for $48.00, only $0.00 above the $202 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($44.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
