Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Shawn Kemp [Members Only] #125 sells for $39.00 against $8.01 raw: a $30.99 spread, 4.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.70) 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.
