Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Gamora [Refractor] #GL-8 sell for $9.00, only $0.00 above the $22.50 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($8.50) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
