Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Derek Jeter [Player's Private Issue] #109 sells for $123 against $22.24 raw: a $100 spread, 5.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($92.01) 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.
