Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Braden Montgomery [Prospectors Special Edition Die-Cut Variation] #BDC-58 sell for $56.00, only $0.00 above the $95.49 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($51.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
