Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 John Cena #13 sells for $1,225 against $341 raw: a $884 spread, 3.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($490) 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.
