Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Luke Shliger [Red] #BDC-47 sell for $39.00, only $0.00 above the $314 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($35.39) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
