Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Al Pacino #MA-APA sells for $3,609 against $850 raw: a $2,759 spread, 4.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,302) 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.
