Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Malaki Branham #ND-MBS sell for $4.00, only $0.00 above the $62.81 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($3.25) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
