Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Blake Mitchell [Red] #BGA-BM sell for $173, only $0.00 above the $230 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($158) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
