Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A SGC 10 George Pratt #119 sells for $36.59 against $2.03 raw: a $34.56 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($28.00) 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.
