Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jose Canseco #HR1 sells for $106 against $1.55 raw: a $105 spread, 69× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($106) 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.
