Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Larry Bird [1958 Autograph Refractor] #172 sells for $622 against $15.00 raw: a $607 spread, 41× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($565) 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.
