Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Arch Manning #3 sells for $9,098 against $2,100 raw: a $6,998 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,238) 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.
