Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 7 copies of Tye Kartye [Speckled Rainbow] #465 sell for $16.05, only $0.00 above the $25.37 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($7.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
