Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Space Center sells for $1,990 against $2.25 raw: a $1,988 spread, 884× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.21) 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.
