Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cloyce Box #111 sells for $1,974 against $7.61 raw: a $1,966 spread, 259× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($536) 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.
