Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Calvin Johnson #BC75 sells for $109 against $11.50 raw: a $97.50 spread, 9.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.12) 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.
