Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Moises Ballesteros [Die-Cut] #123 sells for $82.00 against $10.93 raw: a $71.07 spread, 7.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($68.00) 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.
