Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Pete Crow-Armstrong [Black Refractor] #RA-PC sell for $440, only $0.00 above the $1,270 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($400) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $1,270
Grade 9.5: $440
