Grading rarely pays for this card
SGC 10 copies of Tommy Troy [Orange] #BGA-TT sell for $51.00, only $0.00 above the $175 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($31.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
