Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jayden Daniels #RTS-JDS sells for $46.92 against $4.69 raw: a $42.23 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.00) 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.
