Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Josh Richardson #172 sells for $35.00 against $0.99 raw: a $34.01 spread, 35× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($32.00) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
