Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tom Glavine [Chrome Black Refractor] #62 sells for $174 against $7.00 raw: a $167 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($159) 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.
