Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Bo Nix [Ice] #4 sell for $195, only $0.00 above the $277 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($178) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $277
