Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Novak Djokovic #100 sells for $61.00 against $2.25 raw: a $58.75 spread, 27× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.92) 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.
