Is Kevin Love [Blue] #115 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Kevin Love [Blue] #115 sells for $54.00 against $8.77 raw: a $45.23 spread, 6.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.00) 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.

Raw (NM): $8.77
