Is Ron Dayne #292 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Ron Dayne #292 sells for $726 against $1.99 raw: a $724 spread, 365× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($660) 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.
