Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Joe Burrow [Gold] #4 sell for $3,300, only $0.00 above the $5,500 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($3,000) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
