Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Baseball's Two [Hal Smiths] #94 sells for $377 against $25.00 raw: a $352 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($343) 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.
