Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Jordan Lawlar [Clear] #451 sell for $121, only $0.00 above the $226 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($110) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
