Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A SGC 10 Henrik Zetterberg #US-HZ sells for $122 against $21.93 raw: a $100 spread, 5.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($67.38) 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.
