Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Jonathan Taylor [Ice] #CR-JT sell for $28.00, only $11.55 above the $16.45 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($25.75) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
