Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Miguel Cabrera [Autograph] #6 sells for $999 against $128 raw: a $871 spread, 7.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($200) 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.
