Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Bobby Hurley #53 sells for $34.00 against $0.99 raw: a $33.01 spread, 34× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($28.11) 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.
