Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Raymond Berry #120 sells for $14,400 against $10.05 raw: a $14,390 spread, 1433× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($12,000) 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.
