Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Pete Alonso [SSP Variation] #315 sells for $107 against $16.66 raw: a $90.57 spread, 6.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($97.98) 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.
