Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Brock Faber [Red Prism] #R-BF sell for $93.00, only $0.00 above the $274 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($84.97) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
