Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Matty Beniers #S-89 sell for $15.00, only $10.38 above the $4.62 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($14.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
