Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mookie Betts [Black Eclipse] #STN-11 sells for $1,140 against $175 raw: a $965 spread, 6.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($950) 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.
