Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Aaron Pico #VI-AP sells for $2,085 against $450 raw: a $1,635 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($719) 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.
