Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Drew Bledsoe [Row 1] #11 sell for $51.39, only $2.12 above the $49.27 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($49.26) 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): $49.27
