Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 RBI Leaders [R. Jackson, W. Stargell] #203 sells for $614 against $19.99 raw: a $594 spread, 31× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($558) 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.
