Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Barry Sanders [Refractor] #250 sells for $321 against $150 raw: a $171 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($292) 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.
