Is Tyreek Hill [Gold] #3 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Tyreek Hill [Gold] #3 sells for $2,445 against $1,950 raw: a $495 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,222) 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.

Raw (NM): $1,950
Grade 9.5: $2,445
