Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bobby Moore [Aka Ahmad Rashad] sells for $176 against $40.00 raw: a $136 spread, 4.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($160) 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.
