Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Shohei Ohtani [Orange Galactic Refractor] #CCA-SO sell for $9,900, only $0.00 above the $12,017 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($9,000) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
