Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Goose Gossage #CLA-GG sells for $304 against $64.99 raw: a $239 spread, 4.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($109) 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.
