Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Roy Halladay [Refractor] #83 sells for $72.00 against $7.51 raw: a $64.49 spread, 9.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($60.00) 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.
