Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Furillo Hero in 3rd: World Series Game #432 sells for $35.00 against $4.38 raw: a $30.62 spread, 8.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31.40) 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.
