Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kris Letang #62 sells for $72.00 against $12.87 raw: a $59.13 spread, 5.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($65.00) 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.
