Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Chipper Jones #111 sells for $250 against $5.17 raw: a $245 spread, 48× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.69) 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.
