Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bill Fisher [Hand Cut] #27 sells for $855 against $49.95 raw: a $805 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($777) 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.
