Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Patrick Kane #518 sells for $59.95 against $15.42 raw: a $44.53 spread, 3.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.57) 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.
