Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Yogi Berra #46 sells for $38,548 against $150 raw: a $38,398 spread, 257× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($5,766) 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.
