Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 7 Ed Konetchy #118 sells for $1,980 against $475 raw: a $1,505 spread, 4.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,625) 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.
