Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Travis Kelce [Legends Gold] #31 sells for $530 against $337 raw: a $193 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($482) 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.
