Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bo Jackson #2 sells for $98.00 against $1.74 raw: a $96.26 spread, 56× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($89.36) 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.
