Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Patrick Kane [Silver] #518 sells for $161 against $26.69 raw: a $135 spread, 6.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($149) 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.
