Grading rarely pays for this card
BGS 9.5 copies of Adventurer's Discovery sell for $14.00, only $13.86 above the $0.14 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($8.00) only about breaks even after fees, so the case rests on gemming. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
