Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jack Eichel [High Gloss] #451 sells for $5,439 against $1,380 raw: a $4,059 spread, 3.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,630) 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.
