Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Anton Frondell #201 sells for $173 against $27.00 raw: a $146 spread, 6.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($58.20) 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.
