Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Fieldworker sells for $1,269 against $7.00 raw: a $1,262 spread, 181× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($55.13) 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.
