Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Robin Yount #223 sells for $30,460 against $30.53 raw: a $30,429 spread, 998× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,477) 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.
