Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Anthony Rizzo #AR sells for $73.00 against $26.01 raw: a $46.99 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($66.08) 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.
