Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Junior Caminero [Clear] #628 sell for $511, only $0.00 above the $841 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($465) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
