Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Namor [Molten] #50 sell for $12.00, only $1.05 above the $10.95 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($10.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
