Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jim Gentile #365 sells for $501 against $2.34 raw: a $498 spread, 214× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($248) 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.
