Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kida sells for $228 against $60.80 raw: a $167 spread, 3.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($98.93) 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.
