Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Jayden Daniels [Gold] #RAV-JD sell for $660, only $0.00 above the $748 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($600) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
