Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ken Griffey Jr. [Gold] #T132 sells for $37.00 against $5.00 raw: a $32.00 spread, 7.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($33.33) 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.
