Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Bronson Arroyo #47T sells for $46.35 against $1.99 raw: a $44.36 spread, 23× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.99) 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.
