Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Matthew Schaefer [Green Blue Extended Rookie] #CF-MS sells for $200 against $81.26 raw: a $119 spread, 2.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($135) 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.
