Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Bob Feller #134 sells for $6,380 against $29.97 raw: a $6,350 spread, 213× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($961) 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.
