Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Red Sox 1967 Rookie Stars #314 sells for $976 against $6.74 raw: a $969 spread, 145× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($311) 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.
