Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Greg Maddux #2 sells for $73.00 against $1.39 raw: a $71.61 spread, 53× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($61.00) 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.
