Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Max Ferguson #CDA-MF sells for $84.00 against $1.68 raw: a $82.32 spread, 50× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($70.00) 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.
