Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Connor Bedard [Red Ink] #CS-CB sells for $1,540 against $1,200 raw: a $340 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,400) 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.
