Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Chuck Foreman [Autograph] #AL-103 sells for $637 against $17.61 raw: a $620 spread, 36× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($134) 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.
