Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Felipe Drugovich [Purple Green] #139 sell for $10.00, only $9.75 above the $0.25 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($9.11) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
