Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Rafael Nadal [Gold Refractor] #281 sells for $354 against $85.00 raw: a $269 spread, 4.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($123) 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.
