Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bryce Harper [Batting Red Refractor] #150 sells for $600 against $90.03 raw: a $510 spread, 6.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($545) 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.
