Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Joey Galloway [Row 0] #79 sells for $96.00 against $0.79 raw: a $95.21 spread, 122× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($87.50) 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.
