Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9 copies of Mick Schumacher [Sapphire] #112 sell for $2.25, only $0.00 above the $2.57 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($2.25) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $2.57
Grade 9: $2.25
PSA 9: $2.25
