Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Gaylord Perry [1973 Hits 325] #49 sells for $59.00 against $10.00 raw: a $49.00 spread, 5.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($53.99) 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.
