Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Isaiah Rider #361 sells for $76.28 against $1.28 raw: a $75.00 spread, 60× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.00) 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.
