Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Caitlin Clark [Red Scope] #5 sell for $134, only $2.72 above the $131 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($122) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
