Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Joe DiMaggio [Autographs] #C-JDB sells for $1,567 against $389 raw: a $1,178 spread, 4.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,425) 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.
