Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Boom Boom Geoffrion [J. Beliveau, D. Marshall] #59 sells for $505 against $27.77 raw: a $477 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($459) 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.
