Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Andre Jackson #CAA-AJ sells for $50.00 against $2.73 raw: a $47.27 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.90) 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.
