Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Facundo Pellistri [Red Pulsar] #94 sell for $5.00, only $3.38 above the $1.62 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($4.45) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
