Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Louis Williams #100 sells for $39.96 against $1.90 raw: a $38.06 spread, 21× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.00) 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.
