Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Gleyber Torres [Royal Blue] #TP-GT sells for $53.00 against $3.20 raw: a $49.80 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($47.89) 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.
