Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Justin Verlander #35 sells for $62.00 against $1.14 raw: a $60.86 spread, 54× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($52.00) 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.
