Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9 copies of RJ Hampton #7 sell for $1.30, only $0.00 above the $18.94 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($1.30) 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): $18.94
Grade 9: $1.30
