Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Brock Bowers [Blue Refractor] #RA-BBO sells for $440 against $114 raw: a $325 spread, 3.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($169) 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.
