Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Doctor Doom [Grandiose] #183 sell for $14.00, only $4.99 above the $9.01 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($12.50) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
