Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Eli Manning #SBXLVI-EM sell for $289, only $24.05 above the $265 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($263) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
