Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Cooper DeJean [Gold] #151 sell for $50.00, only $0.00 above the $61.75 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($45.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
