Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Aayla Secura - Master of the Blade #96 sell for $18.00, only $8.02 above the $9.98 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($16.50) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
