Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Da'Mon Blackshear [Gold Refractor] #CRA-DMB sell for $13.00, only $0.00 above the $32.80 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($12.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
