Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Ron Francis #SPC-RF sell for $83.00, only $6.66 above the $76.34 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($75.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
