Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Randall Cunningham #69 sells for $94.90 against $1.99 raw: a $92.91 spread, 48× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($59.46) 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.
