Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Leon Draisaitl [Autograph] #277 sells for $2,806 against $626 raw: a $2,181 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($725) 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.
