Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Nelly Korda #CF-29 sells for $4,404 against $967 raw: a $3,438 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,528) 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.
