Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Tee Martin #180 sell for $39.00, only $24.21 above the $14.79 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($35.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
