Price history
Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Babe Ruth #53 sells for $5,054,400 against $7,700 raw: a $5,046,700 spread, 656× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,212,000) 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.
