Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Ken Griffey [Gold Prizm] #46 sell for $142, only $23.89 above the $118 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($129) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
