Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Tyson Foerster [Matte Pink] #275 sell for $10.00, only $8.97 above the $1.03 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($8.79) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
