Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Brett Baty #MA-BB sells for $57.18 against $11.18 raw: a $46.00 spread, 5.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.99) 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.
