Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Carey Price [High Gloss] #YGR-21 sell for $277, only $0.00 above the $295 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($252) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
