Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kris Bryant [Green Refractor] #AR-KB sells for $895 against $100 raw: a $795 spread, 8.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($814) 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.
