Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9 copies of Thomas Jones [Gold Medallion] #223G sell for $0.01, only $0.00 above the $0.99 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($0.01) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
