Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Roger Craig #113 sells for $42.85 against $1.50 raw: a $41.35 spread, 29× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($28.06) 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.
