Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Peyton Manning [Gold] #A10 sell for $1,382, only $0.00 above the $2,795 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($866) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
