Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Wolverine #41 sell for $55.00, only $12.87 above the $42.13 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($50.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
