Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Fergie Jenkins #60 sells for $236 against $2.97 raw: a $233 spread, 79× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($209) 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.
