Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 The Early Years #1 sells for $2,886 against $14.56 raw: a $2,872 spread, 198× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,460) 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.
