Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Wes Westrum #75 sells for $13,068 against $10.73 raw: a $13,057 spread, 1218× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($10,890) 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.
