Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 John Elway [Atomic Refractor] #115 sells for $176 against $112 raw: a $63.58 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($160) 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.
