Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Annihilus [Gold Refractor] #20 sell for $85.00, only $0.00 above the $1,508 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($77.30) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
