Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Caleb Williams [Gold] #21 sell for $9,020, only $0.00 above the $11,099 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($8,200) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
