Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mark Rypien #SBCS-MR sells for $386 against $74.13 raw: a $312 spread, 5.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($130) 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.
