Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dickie Moore #14 sells for $4,122 against $23.03 raw: a $4,099 spread, 179× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($624) 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.
