Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kendall Gill [Row 0] #69 sells for $42.00 against $6.98 raw: a $35.02 spread, 6.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.99) 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.
