Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Andre Dawson #10 sells for $89.00 against $12.11 raw: a $76.89 spread, 7.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($81.00) 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.
