Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Sam Reinhart [Autograph] #273 sells for $364 against $44.55 raw: a $319 spread, 8.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($113) 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.
