Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Ed Sadowski #113 sells for $2,113 against $11.16 raw: a $2,102 spread, 189× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($89.99) 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.
