Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Mets Field Leaders [Dark Pale Background] #257 sells for $1,083 against $75.00 raw: a $1,008 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($985) 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.
