Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Roy Campanella [Brooklyn Dodgers Cover Hand Cut] sells for $84.00 against $9.25 raw: a $74.75 spread, 9.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($76.01) 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.
