Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Lady Outing sells for $238 against $0.50 raw: a $237 spread, 475× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($45.21) 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.
