Grading rarely pays for this card
SGC 10 copies of The Spectacular Spider-man 2 [Gold Refractor] #SG-2 sell for $94.00, only $13.75 above the $80.25 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($52.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
