Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Zach Collins [Horizontal Autograph the Finals] #110 sells for $43.00 against $5.50 raw: a $37.50 spread, 7.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.33) 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.
