Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Baylan Skoll [Gold Refractor Aurebesh Variation] #AV-5 sell for $28.00, only $0.00 above the $39.64 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($25.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
