Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Joe Ferguson [White Back] #67 sells for $463 against $19.99 raw: a $443 spread, 23× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($421) 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.
