Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Lee Walls #111 sells for $3,393 against $18.02 raw: a $3,375 spread, 188× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($147) 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.
