Is Kimi Raikkonen #35 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Kimi Raikkonen #35 sells for $171 against $1.16 raw: a $170 spread, 147× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($156) 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): $1.16
Grade 9.5: $171
PSA 9: $156
