Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 MacKenzie Gore [Autograph] #90BMG sells for $65.00 against $18.98 raw: a $46.02 spread, 3.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($59.00) 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.
