Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Leo Carlsson [Rookie Patch Auto] #199 sell for $1,885, only $0.00 above the $1,917 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($1,714) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
