Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Aaron Judge #161 sells for $86.00 against $10.00 raw: a $76.00 spread, 8.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($71.97) 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.
