Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Andy Roddick [Sapphire] #TCA-ARK sell for $42.00, only $2.29 above the $39.71 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($38.00) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
