Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mickey Mantle #150 sells for $67,694 against $367 raw: a $67,326 spread, 184× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($27,600) 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.
