Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Carl Yastrzemski #355 sells for $3,370 against $17.98 raw: a $3,352 spread, 187× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,064) 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.
