Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jack Nicklaus Leader sells for $1,875 against $3.14 raw: a $1,872 spread, 597× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($87.13) 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.
