Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Thurman Thomas [Atomic Refractor] #73 sells for $55.00 against $14.00 raw: a $41.00 spread, 3.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.00) 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.
