Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Bobby Orr #95 sells for $47.00 against $0.89 raw: a $46.11 spread, 53× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.00) 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.
