Is Bill Mazeroski #335 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Bill Mazeroski #335 sells for $302 against $6.50 raw: a $296 spread, 46× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($275) 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.
