Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Eric Gordon [Snakeskin] #223 sell for $7.00, only $0.00 above the $7.46 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($6.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $7.46
