Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jim Schoenfeld #220 sells for $792 against $6.37 raw: a $785 spread, 124× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($241) 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.
