Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Aaron Judge [SSP] #U-15 sells for $1,870 against $363 raw: a $1,507 spread, 5.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($657) 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.
