Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Shawn Bradley Row 1 #76 sell for $11.00, only $8.87 above the $2.13 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($9.95) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
