Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Abdul Carter #RA-AC sells for $210 against $40.00 raw: a $170 spread, 5.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($72.70) 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.
