Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Woody Held #2 sells for $493 against $2.46 raw: a $491 spread, 200× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($79.57) 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.
