Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Maria Sharapova #TSP-MS sells for $185 against $46.31 raw: a $139 spread, 4.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($74.05) 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.
