Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Shawn Michaels [Refractor] #HOF-SM sells for $210 against $109 raw: a $101 spread, 1.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($163) 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.
