Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Russ Nixon #171 sells for $49.00 against $0.12 raw: a $48.88 spread, 408× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($44.99) 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.
