Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ricky Steamboat #11 sells for $2,762 against $60.40 raw: a $2,702 spread, 46× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,511) 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.
