Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Reggie Jackson #41 sells for $52.00 against $1.63 raw: a $50.37 spread, 32× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($47.00) 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.
