Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Connor Bedard #BL-13 sells for $1,393 against $361 raw: a $1,032 spread, 3.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($510) 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.
