Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 JA Morant [Pink] #116 sells for $200 against $32.16 raw: a $168 spread, 6.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($85.00) 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.
