Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Connor McDavid [Red Prism] #P-CM sell for $33.00, only $6.35 above the $26.65 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($30.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
