Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Fred Sasakamoose #82 sells for $24,333 against $106 raw: a $24,227 spread, 230× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,648) 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.
