Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Bobby Shantz #21 sells for $2,267 against $8.97 raw: a $2,258 spread, 253× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($345) 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.
