Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Aaron Judge [Atomic Refractor] #TP-21 sells for $273 against $60.00 raw: a $213 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($121) 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.
