Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Connor McDavid, Jake Virtanen #C240 sells for $113 against $33.45 raw: a $79.44 spread, 3.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($110) 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.
