Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Annika Sorenstam #CS-2 sells for $190 against $35.50 raw: a $154 spread, 5.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($65.56) 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.
