Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Caitlin Clark [Gold] #9 sells for $2,937 against $689 raw: a $2,248 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,058) 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.
