Price history
Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Ed Whitey Ford #1 sells for $50,044 against $200 raw: a $49,844 spread, 250× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($16,376) 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.
