Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Bill Mazeroski [Early Wynn] sells for $470 against $3.25 raw: a $467 spread, 145× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($427) 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.
