Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Corbin Carroll [Orange] #ET-4 sell for $34.00, only $0.00 above the $42.50 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($31.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
