Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Curtis Joseph #3 sells for $254 against $9.15 raw: a $245 spread, 28× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.13) 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.
