Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dunc Fisher #24 sells for $5,376 against $21.50 raw: a $5,355 spread, 250× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($809) 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.
