Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Barry Bonds [X Fractor] #19 sells for $205 against $22.50 raw: a $183 spread, 9.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($186) 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.
