Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Dashing Derring-Do [Red Refractor] #89 sell for $365, only $0.00 above the $549 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($332) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
