Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Clayton Kershaw [Blue] #BDPP77 sells for $180 against $68.61 raw: a $111 spread, 2.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($164) 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.
