Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Bob Waterfield #89 sells for $10,868 against $39.50 raw: a $10,829 spread, 275× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,629) 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.
