Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 HAIRY HARRIET [Gold] #150a sells for $86.00 against $15.50 raw: a $70.50 spread, 5.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($77.94) 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.
