Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tommy Edman #ROA-TE sells for $50.25 against $15.00 raw: a $35.25 spread, 3.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($46.25) 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.
