Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Ty Cobb [Black Gold Shimmer FOTL] #160 sell for $84.00, only $0.00 above the $210 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($76.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
