Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Roy White #1 sells for $690 against $24.03 raw: a $666 spread, 29× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($126) 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.
