Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ken Griffey Jr. [Magic Moments 50 HR in 1997] #475 sells for $44.00 against $4.26 raw: a $39.74 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.99) 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.
