Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tigers Field Leaders [Schultz's Name Not Print] #323 sells for $105 against $2.00 raw: a $103 spread, 53× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($95.24) 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.
