Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Bill Werber #75 sells for $15,589 against $39.08 raw: a $15,550 spread, 399× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,325) 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.
