Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Attack on Takodana [Prism Refractor] #59 sell for $14.00, only $0.16 above the $13.84 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($12.29) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
