Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jack Eichel #451 sells for $137 against $31.49 raw: a $105 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($56.90) 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.
