Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 John Collins [Patch Autograph] #119 sells for $1,737 against $571 raw: a $1,166 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,343) 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.
