Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Trae Young #SS-TYG sells for $652 against $84.99 raw: a $567 spread, 7.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($543) 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.
