Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Yadier Molina #25 sells for $37.74 against $1.49 raw: a $36.25 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($26.99) 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.
