Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Willie Mays [Hand Cut] #142 sells for $2,588 against $10.95 raw: a $2,577 spread, 236× 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.
