Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Connor Bedard [Violet Pixel] #P-CB sell for $109, only $0.00 above the $133 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($99.28) 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): $133
