Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bill Sherman [Cor. Rams Team on Front] #58 sells for $337 against $9.00 raw: a $328 spread, 37× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($306) 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.
