Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Chris Evert [Gold] #AA-CE sell for $142, only $0.00 above the $300 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($129) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
