Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Milt Morin sells for $51.00 against $0.25 raw: a $50.75 spread, 204× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($46.02) 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.
