Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Luke Kennard [Fast Break Prizm Pink] #171 sells for $60.00 against $14.33 raw: a $45.67 spread, 4.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($54.99) 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.
