Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Ken Griffey Jr. #336 sells for $1,100 against $18.75 raw: a $1,081 spread, 59× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($120) 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.
