Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 George Kittle [Signature True Blue] #21 sells for $352 against $71.00 raw: a $281 spread, 5.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($126) 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.
