Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Joe Burrow #K33 sells for $3,526 against $1,195 raw: a $2,331 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,319) 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.
