Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Aboard the Bridge [Wave Refractor] #41 sell for $24.00, only $1.91 above the $22.09 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($21.75) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
