Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of Connor McMichael #CM sell for $18.00, only $3.00 above the $15.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($16.29) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
