Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Royce Lewis #WHA-RL sells for $85.07 against $9.84 raw: a $75.23 spread, 8.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($67.04) 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.
