Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Kyle Guy [Patch Autograph] #142 sells for $165 against $81.66 raw: a $83.34 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($150) 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.
