Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Bobby Orr [Norris Trophy] #209 sells for $4,535 against $33.52 raw: a $4,501 spread, 135× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($744) 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.
