Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of L'Jarius Sneed [Red Shimmer] #146 sell for $10.00, only $0.00 above the $19.58 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($8.76) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
