Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Adam Graves #C-AG sell for $24.00, only $2.38 above the $21.62 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($21.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
