Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Goodbye for now [Orange Refractor] #98 sell for $93.00, only $0.00 above the $250 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($84.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
