Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Bob Gibson #210 sells for $17,568 against $13.28 raw: a $17,555 spread, 1323× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,445) 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.
