Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kyle Tucker #RA-KT sells for $9,900 against $90.00 raw: a $9,810 spread, 110× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($9,000) 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.
