Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Psylocke [Molten] #38 sell for $55.00, only $11.58 above the $43.42 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.
