Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Joe Burrow [Autograph] #101 sells for $2,816 against $1,047 raw: a $1,769 spread, 2.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,443) 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.
