Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Malcolm Brogdon [Neon Orange Pulsar] #IFS-MBG sell for $6.00, only $0.00 above the $9.99 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($5.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
