Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Ray Park as Darth Maul [Red Refractor] #A-RP sell for $495, only $0.00 above the $800 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($450) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
