Is it worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 J.J. Watt [Autograph] #252 sells for $138 against $80.00 raw: a $57.75 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($110) 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.
