Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tetairoa McMillan #37 sells for $10,799 against $1,300 raw: a $9,499 spread, 8.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($8,999) 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.
