Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Bruce Miller #606 sells for $199 against $1.18 raw: a $198 spread, 168× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($38.40) 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.
