Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Ray Allen #YQ9 sells for $223 against $6.00 raw: a $217 spread, 37× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.25) 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.
