Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Leo De Vries [Pearl Refractor] #BCP-179 sell for $182, only $0.00 above the $265 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($166) 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): $265
