Grading rarely pays for this card
SGC 10 copies of Aaron Judge [Gold Foil] #GH-1 sell for $51.00, only $20.03 above the $30.97 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($21.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
