Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kenley Jansen [Gold] #US-114 sells for $323 against $36.42 raw: a $287 spread, 8.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($168) 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.
