Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Michael Penix Jr. [Cracked Ice Ticket Autograph] #102 sell for $317, only $0.00 above the $1,500 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($288) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
