Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Albert Pujols [Red] #SCCA-AP sell for $303, only $0.00 above the $425 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($275) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
