Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Peyton Watson #NB-PYW sells for $1,200 against $9.59 raw: a $1,190 spread, 125× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1000) 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.
