Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jacques Laperriere [Error Gilbert Perreault Outstanding Rookie] #245 sells for $295 against $1.14 raw: a $294 spread, 259× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($268) 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.
