Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Danny Green #19 sells for $61.00 against $1.49 raw: a $59.51 spread, 41× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($55.09) 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.
