Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Brandon Lowe #BL sells for $49.99 against $9.89 raw: a $40.10 spread, 5.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.87) 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.
