Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 J.J. McCarthy [Green Signature] #304 sells for $184 against $45.00 raw: a $139 spread, 4.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($124) 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.
