Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Ahmad 'Sauce' Gardner [Teal] #RCS-AG sells for $100 against $34.86 raw: a $65.14 spread, 2.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($85.71) 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.
