Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Batting Leaders [R. Carew, P. Rose] #201 sells for $598 against $56.32 raw: a $542 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($544) 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.
