Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Austin Wells #SFA-AW sell for $41.00, only $3.01 above the $37.99 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($37.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
