Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Reggie Jackson sells for $114 against $8.72 raw: a $105 spread, 13× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($53.14) 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.
