Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Bobby Murcer [Hand Cut] #141 sells for $350 against $2.00 raw: a $348 spread, 175× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($72.77) 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.
