Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9 copies of Colleen Wing [Black Rainbow] #147 sell for $2.25, only $0.00 above the $2.37 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($2.25) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
