Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Threepio With His Parts Showing [Foil] sell for $330, only $12.72 above the $317 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($300) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
