Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Chris Chambliss [Hand Cut] #58 sells for $56.00 against $10.00 raw: a $46.00 spread, 5.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.76) 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.
