Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Elly De La Cruz [Black Foil Flagship Real One Autograph] #150 sell for $550, only $0.00 above the $835 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($500) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
