Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Billy Martin #6 sells for $4,200 against $1.61 raw: a $4,198 spread, 2609× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.86) 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.
