Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 DeAndre Ayton #RSDAY sells for $58.00 against $9.86 raw: a $48.14 spread, 5.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($48.00) 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.
