Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Stefan Frei [Black Refractor] #FF-SF sell for $85.00, only $5.05 above the $79.95 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($76.99) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
