Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Rookie Catchers-Outfielders #620 sells for $2,080 against $16.39 raw: a $2,064 spread, 127× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,891) 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.
