Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9 copies of Darcy Kuemper [Pink] #DZ-14 sell for $1.00, only $0.00 above the $2.83 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($1.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
