Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Sam Darnold #RI-3 sells for $1,327 against $8.09 raw: a $1,319 spread, 164× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,106) 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.
