Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Reggie Jackson sells for $33.00 against $1.08 raw: a $31.92 spread, 31× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.99) 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.
