Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tito Santana #6 sells for $88.35 against $1.70 raw: a $86.65 spread, 52× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($48.54) 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.
