Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Thor #CP-14 sell for $22.00, only $20.00 above the $2.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($20.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
