Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Steve Francis #HI-SVF sells for $50.94 against $10.48 raw: a $40.46 spread, 4.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.00) 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.
