Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Stormtroopers [Aqua Sonar Refractor] #64 sell for $60.00, only $10.01 above the $49.99 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($49.99) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
