Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Chuck Dobson #62 sells for $218 against $2.63 raw: a $215 spread, 83× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($198) 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.
