Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Drake Maye #FYF-DM sells for $66.50 against $25.00 raw: a $41.50 spread, 2.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($55.50) 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.
