Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Yan Kuznetsov [Sunset] #R-YK sell for $11.00, only $6.67 above the $4.33 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($10.10) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
