Is Travis Kelce [Pink] #31 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Travis Kelce [Pink] #31 sells for $205 against $70.03 raw: a $135 spread, 2.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($186) 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.
