Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Andruw Jones #314 sells for $1,089 against $1.12 raw: a $1,088 spread, 972× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($990) 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.
