Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 1983 Stolen Base Leaders: Tim Raines / Rickey Henderson #134 sells for $71.00 against $9.36 raw: a $61.64 spread, 7.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($64.99) 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.
