Is Grayson Allen #GAL worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Grayson Allen #GAL sells for $56.00 against $11.71 raw: a $44.29 spread, 4.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.96) 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.

Raw (NM): $11.71
Grade 9.5: $56.00
PSA 9: $50.96
