Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 World Series Game 1 [Brock Socks 4 Hits in. . . ] #151 sells for $128 against $3.63 raw: a $124 spread, 35× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($117) 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.
