Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Jacob Wilson [Gold] #TT-17 sell for $20.00, only $0.00 above the $23.87 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($18.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
