Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Brett Hull #66 sells for $5,099 against $19.47 raw: a $5,080 spread, 262× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($201) 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.
