Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kirk Cousins [Signature Gold Zone] #106 sells for $93.00 against $33.00 raw: a $60.00 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($84.99) 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.
