Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kimi Antonelli [Red] #SD-1 sells for $3,359 against $1,101 raw: a $2,258 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,054) 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.
