Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tarik Skubal #AGAR-TA sells for $953 against $219 raw: a $733 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($343) 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.
