Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Anthony Edwards #LST-40 sells for $39.26 against $2.25 raw: a $37.01 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31.00) 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.
