Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bob White sells for $44.00 against $2.42 raw: a $41.58 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($40.21) 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.
