Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Derek Jeter [Retrofractor] #77 sells for $2,112 against $288 raw: a $1,825 spread, 7.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,760) 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.
