Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Albert Pujols [Significant Signatures] #108 sells for $2,134 against $648 raw: a $1,487 spread, 3.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,940) 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.
