Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ken Griffey Jr #BAB-11 sells for $43.00 against $2.38 raw: a $40.62 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.00) 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.
