Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 7 copies of Doctor Aphra - Rapacious Archaeologist [Showcase] #277 sell for $51.00, only $0.00 above the $60.50 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($27.30) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
