Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Marian Gaborik #110 sells for $108 against $34.15 raw: a $73.91 spread, 3.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($64.74) 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.
