Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Davis Schneider #89BA-SCH sells for $60.16 against $15.13 raw: a $45.03 spread, 4.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.00) 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.
