Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Cedeno, Harrah, Ruhle [Hand Cut Panel] sells for $65.00 against $5.06 raw: a $59.94 spread, 13× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($59.00) 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.
