Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jackson Holliday [Aqua Wave Refractor] #RA-JH sells for $3,000 against $217 raw: a $2,783 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,500) 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.
