Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Norm Cash [Hand Cut] #20 sells for $163 against $7.50 raw: a $156 spread, 22× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($149) 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.
