Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bo Jackson #358 sells for $47.00 against $4.56 raw: a $42.44 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.41) 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.
