Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Charlie Watts #4 sells for $154 against $65.33 raw: a $88.67 spread, 2.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($140) 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.
