Is it worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Cal Ripken Jr. [Refractor] #28 sells for $199 against $150 raw: a $49.01 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($181) 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.
