Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gene Oliver #62 sells for $816 against $4.68 raw: a $811 spread, 174× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($94.30) 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.
