Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Jerry Stackhouse [Row 1] #36 sell for $5.00, only $1.75 above the $3.25 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($4.95) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $3.25
