Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Connor Bedard [Red Champagne] #2 sells for $579 against $57.13 raw: a $522 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($250) 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.
