Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Nolan Ryan [Gold Signature] #249 sells for $1,407 against $42.00 raw: a $1,365 spread, 33× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($150) 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.
