Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kyshawn George [Gold] #257 sells for $3,475 against $440 raw: a $3,035 spread, 7.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,159) 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.
