Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Stardust Dragon 20CP-JPT06 sell for $104, only $0.00 above the $129 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($94.51) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
